1. Santouka
In an absolute rout, Santouka defends its crown as the best and most
authentic ramen operation in Southern California. Oily, rich, and loaded with
umami from pork bones and Hokkaido seafood, this shio ramen from Japan's far
north is a tantalizing taste of what the slurpy stuff could be, if only local
shops put a little more effort and money into brewing their soups and
importing noodles made with actual kansui.

2. Asa
Okay, maybe I'm a little biased, as I've become fast friends with the staff
at Asa over the course of the past year. But would my repeat patronage have
anything to do with the meticulous artisanal kotteri shoyu product that
Kubo-san serves up? Santouka is a large corporate ramen chain with the
resources to import their ingredients straight from japan, but Asa is a
humble little noodle start-up that nearly wins the day. Attention to detail
is what separates the best from the rest!

3. Shisen Ramen
Shisen Ramen has always been a decent Sichuan-style noodler. Lately, it's
grown on me even more, with soup that's a flavorful blend of fiery spices and
a thin, if woefully unremarkable yellow egg noodle. It's not the best bowl in
town by far, not by a long shot, but something keeps pulling me back,
especially late at night. Maybe it's just their hours?

4. Hakata Shin-Sen-Gumi
There is much to love about the ever-popular Shin-Sen-Gumi, which brings my
absolute favorite type of ramen, Hakata tonkotsu to L.A. and Orange County.
What bothers me is that they do it so poorly! A bowl of ramen at SSG wouldn't
even pass for mediocre in Fukuoka, and still, it's one of the best you'll
find in town. Which just tells me that we all need to move to Japan, stat.

5. Gardena Ramen
Gardena Ramen slips a notch this year, simply because Nakamura-san refuses to
change with the times. Loaded with complex flavor, his shoyu ramen soup is
still the best in town, but his refusal to expand his menu or use premium
ingredients for his toppings makes him the perfect ganko oyaji ramen chef,
the eccentric old man, endlessly perfecting his soup. Come to think of it,
that's not a bad thing at all!

6. Umemura
Umemura flies low under the radar and has definitely seen better days, and
yet, ever since I started eating here again, I've been compelled to return
every now and then. Maybe it's that yakiniku shoyu ramen with the extra sweet
kick, or maybe I'm just getting old and nostalgic for my college years, when
Umemura actually meant something in the grand scheme of things.

7. Chin-Ma-Ya
Little Tokyo's newest ramen shop is a tan tan men specialist with a pedigree
of over a hundred branches up and down Japan. Their trademark Sichuan-style
soup is loaded with taste and peppercorn heat, and yet they could be so much
better if only they imported proper white noodles instead of using the same
generic yellow egg-based stuff all the mediocre ramen shops in town use.
Weeks old, here's hoping they revise their business plan a bit!

8.Shin-Mama Ramen
I haven't had Shin-Mama's delectable and light onomichi ramen in a while, but
their monthly rotation of featured noodle "match-ups," featuring occasionally
successful attempts at various ramen styles from across Japan, keep diners
coming back to this low-key corner of the South Bay.

9.Ramenya
Ramenya, o Ramenya. Last year, this modest assari-kei in West Los Angeles
barely missed the Top Ten. If anything, I would have ranked the place #11.
But although it's true that there's nothing spectacular about this old-school
standby of a ramen shop, I keep returning for relatively inoffensive ramen
and the comfort of familiarity. Kind of like having a friend with benefits,
if by benefits you meant sturdy chashu and consistently decent shoyu soup.
Kill me now.

10. Daikokuya
A few years on, Daikokuya has become a victim of its own success. Patronized
by a neverending crowd of Little Tokyo hipsters, this purveyor of shoyu
tonkotsu ramen has grown complacent, with rumblings of inconsistency making
the rounds. Los Angeles ramen fans have a lot to love in Daikokuya's thick,
rich soup, but quite simply, the noodles are - and have always been - all
wrong for the broth.
